  Fig. 2. Knowledge of COVID-19-specific risk reduction measures and behavioural change. A: Number of COVID-19-specific risk reduction measures recalled pre-education, at short- and long-term follow-up. B: Proportion of vaccinated patients pre-education, at short- and long-term follow-up. C: Individual COVID-19-specific risk reduction measures recalled pre-education, at short- and long-term follow-up. D: Individual behavioural changes reported at short- and long-term follow-up. Ns = not significant, *: p < 0.05, **: p < 0.01, ***: p < 0.001, ****: p < 0.0001

  Fig. 3. Knowledge of COVID-19 symptoms and medical contact A: Individual COVID-19 symptoms recalled pre-education, at short- and long-term follow-up. B-C: Knowledge about when (B) and how (C) to seek medical attention pre-education, at short- and long-term follow-up. D-E: Self-reported medical contacts in the previous three weeks at the family doctor (D) and at the hospital (E) at short- and long-term follow-up. Ns = not significant, *: p < 0.05, **: p < 0.01, ***: p < 0.001

  Fig. 4. Subjective risk awareness and perceived health status A: Self-perceived congestive heart failure symptom score (consisting of existing oedema, need for an additional pillow at night, cough, shortness of breath and tiredness/ fatigue) pre-education, at short- and long-term follow-up. B: Self-perceived health score (as per EQ-5D-5 L-scale) pre-education, at short- and long-term follow-up. C-D: Self-perceived absolute (C) and relative (D) risk of COVID-19 pre-education, at short- and long-term follow-up. E: Impact of worries about COVID-19 on quality-of-life pre-education, at short- and long-term follow-up. F: Impairment due to social distancing pre-education, at short- and long-term follow-up. Ns = not significant, **: p < 0.01
